Pierre Trudeau
We don't think every man should be free to pass on everything to his descendants.
Pierre Trudeau

Pierre Trudeau
Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it that, one is affected by every twitch and grunt.
Pierre Trudeau
The attainment of a just society is the cherished hope of civilized men.
Pierre Trudeau

Pierre Trudeau
